BabyKicks sent me a Bumboo Pocket Diaper, and they are sending one lucky blog reader the same!

The Bumboo Pocket is a one-size pocket diaper with snap down rise adjustment.

Bamboo Fleece stay dry inner.  (Oops, my mistake, bamboo fleece isn’t a stay dry material like microfleece.)

and PUL outer.

Several things make it different than any other diaper I have.

The pocket opening is in the front of the diaper.  When they’re in the back, there’s always that chance that you’ll have to stick your hand in a mess to pull the insert out!

It’s also the only side snapping diaper I have.  Instead of the wings wrapping around and snapping on the front, the front of the diaper wraps around and snaps on the side.

This makes it easier to keep diapers on streaker wannabes, and you can also use the diapers as pull up trainers. 

In the photo above, you can somewhat see that there is fleece around the leg openings, to prevent wicking.

This is also the only diaper I have with a fully hemp insert (no microfiber.)

The multi color snaps are not only cute, but make it easier to remember which snaps fit, saving time on diaper changes.

The one size diapers should fit 7-35 pounds; the small setting is quite small.

The large setting, fully stretched, is in line with other one-size pockets I’ve tried.

I tried it on my son on the next-to-smallest size.

I’ll admit, the side snapping was hard to get used to.  After several years of closing diapers in the front, it’s just different!

We got a great fit, and there were plenty more snaps to get it more snug if needed.

The hemparoo joey bunz insert was very absorbent, and it will continue to become more absorbent as I wash it more.  I just need a little more practice stuffing the diaper to get the best fold/placement of the medium insert on smaller rise settings.  The diaper retails for $18.50 and includes the insert.  I think this is a pretty good price for a one size pocket diaper made with natural fibers.

P.S. Babykicks has a Facebook Fan Page and a Twitter Account.  I feel like a real dummy, but I didn’t think they had them since I couldn’t find them.  I think I was typing Baby Kicks instead of BabyKicks on Facebook, and I have an awful time finding people on Twitter.  All that came up was bunches of people who also mistakenly typed BabyKicks instead of BabyKicksUSA.  In any case, I’m not counting those as entries since it wouldn’t be fair to change the rules in the middle of the game.  Sorry folks, I think I need some sleep!

Thank you to BabyKicks for providing the review and giveaway diapers at no charge.  The freebies in no way affected my review, all opinions are my own.
